Jimmy Ryan & Hayride

For more than a decade, Jimmy Ryan has electrified the Boston music scene with his fusion of bluegrass pickin' and driving edge rock. Performing live, Jimmy's fingers fly across the mandolin like lightning rips through a stormy sky. His flair is energizing, his style unique and the outcome leaves his audience spellbound. A blended perfection of rootsy rock, bluegrass and world music, his invigorating performance displays influences ranging from Bill Monroe to Bob Marley. Over the years Jimmy has teamed up with a string of talent, creating his own style of alt-country that compliments every one of his musical cohorts.

Most noted for his left-handed imaginative mandolin playing, Jimmy Ryan's old-timey voice and masterful songwriting reflect a seasoned musician indeed. He is probably best known for founding and fronting the bluegrass tinged rock band, The Blood Oranges in the late 80's. "Years before anyone had invented the label 'alt-country,' The Blood Oranges helped pioneer the style, with Ryan as lead singer and songwriter," claims Miles of Music.
